Hello,

I have been drinking moderately all my adult life (not more than 3-4 glasses per week). Since last few years, I am having strong palpitations after I drink even one glass of wine or beer. The palpitations are so strong that it is impossible for me to sleep. I even feel that my body moves against the bed. Some beats are harder than others, but they are mostly regular. There is no significant increase in my heart rate.

I got tested for cardiovascular health and my doctor could not find any problem. He just told me to take 20 mg propranolol before taking alcohol. But I am concerned about the underlying reason of this problem.

I would be grateful if you could inform me about your comments.
